We stopped here to stretch our legs as we drove through WV. So glad we did. This shop is absolutely adorable and had all kinds of great gifts to purchase for family and friends. Make sure to swing by if you are in the area!

I am so glad that I braved the off-the-beaten path directions and visited Douglas Falls and near-by Abrams Falls. Totally worth it! From Appalachian Trail (32) in Thomas WV, head south on 27. A dirt road splits off on the right. Fortunately, there was a sign for Douglas Falls at the split. The dirt road is not well-maintained.; you will experience many large potholes and even an over flowing spring. About half way, ou will pass a coke memorial on the left. Then, a bit further you will see Abrams Falls on your left. If the one car pull over is empty, best to get out now and snap that photo. Just a bit more, you will see a rickety bridge. You can park before the bridge or you can dare to cross the rickety bridge to a bigger parking lot. At this point, continue to walk down the dirt road until you meet up with a gate. Immediately, turn left and head down the rocks to get a better view of Douglas Falls. You really cannot see much from the dirt road. Someone has tied a rope at the top to help you down and back up. The rocks are slippery from the sand and the mist so be careful! These falls are awesome. The pool was not emerald though as other reviews have stated. You can get fairly close. And you can travel just a bit down stream by climbing the wet and sandy rocks. One tree was uprooted, but you can travel amidst the roots - rather cool. The trail after the gate is called Blackwater Canyon Trail. Evidently, it goes for at least 19 miles. I just went about one mile. The trail is rather easy. The town did a fairly good job explaining some of the history of this coal-mining town. You will see educational displays along the dirt road and in town, too. At the beginning of the dirt road, you can find two free brochures. I always like to learn something when I am out and about hiking! The photo displayed on the main page is Abrams Falls. My photos were uploaded in order, but they did not come out in order. I hope that they are still helpful.
